Prairie Sweet Root

 Prairie Herbs

     The plants of flat earth prairie are important parts of what we do under the shining light of sky,


southwind blowing, here upon turtle island province. Dalea purpurea, purple turtle island sweet root is one of an assemblage of an abundance of local herbs used by the vitalist under guidance, to fortify and potentiate biospirit focusing on supporting the stomach spleen complex. I want to discuss a few flat earth prairie herbs in relation to the stomach/spleen complex. I also want to explain concepts, including vitalism, Qi, runes, and the stomach spleen complex. And discuss why these concepts need to be discussed and elaborated freely. Qi is an Asian term and concept which is fundamental to TCM, traditional Chinese medicine. TCM is important because it is a foundational understanding to using plants, botanical preparations, to heal the body. The connection between Asian botanical medicine and America, what I am calling Turtle Island, is nothing new. As an example Panax quinquifolius or ginseng, was a significant trade item in colonial times. William Byrd (1674-1744) wrote in a 1737 letter, from the Colony and Dominion of Virgina, “I fancy you have been nibbling of Ginseng ever since you have received that Box from my good Lord Pembroke, by the Venture which you have mended all the Flaws which Jamaica had made in your constitution. I believe ever since the Tree of Life had been strongly guarded the Earth has never produced any vegetable so friendly to man as Ginseng. Nor do I say this as Random, or by the Strength of my Faith, but by my own Experience. I have found it very cordial and reviving after a great Fatigue”. So much so that many historical gründungsväter including George Washington, Thomas Jefferson were familiar with ginseng and was for them a cash export wild gathered crop sold to China. It is important to understand that gingseng was for them not a potent medicinal they used for their folk, for the wellbeing of their people. Ginseng for them was something to be extracted and sold off, in an everything for sale niche eco-zone commodity. Ginseng was for them like the fur trade, something to grab. Daniel Boone with his coon skin cap sold ginseng by the boat load. Again gathered not for his folk, gathered to be sold to highest bidder. One record indicates he sold more than a ton of dried ginseng root for $55,000 in the late 1790's, which would be 1.5 million dollars in today's dollar amount. He sold ginseng in the amount of tons, thousands of pounds.

     Qi, in the oldest written records, the oracle bones, is drawn with three diagonal wavy lines. It looks similar to a rock art petroglyph, it looks to be a kind of basic easily understood sign symbol. The dynamics of the visual look like a less linear, more roundish curved rune, perhaps a symbol for waves, ripples, or water. A rune is one of our Germanic euro ancestral forms of writing that exist from archeological evidence. All peoples have scratched lines in the dirt, made marks in caves and grottoes, made themselves understood to each other with lines. In the Asian oracle bones, I always assumed the three wavy lines meant a sign for river, creek, a flowing stream of water. The three squiggly lines being some kind of universal sign for water. However yes, the qi symbol origin of three squiggly wavy lines in the oracle bones seems to be a water sign, with more of a mist rising element, vapour, rather than a stream or flowing watercourse. The earliest qi symbol as mist vapour in the sense of something active inside of something else, something active and present but not always obviously there. Obvious in terms of not being readily noticeable, yet active. In terms of the oracle bones, it is said to be a logoform for one’s breath seen, exhaled as visible steam on a cold day. One’s breath is always active, always present working but not always visible, not always noticeable. On a cold morning one sees the breath but it’s there all the same whether seen or unseen. In that seen or unseen yet working is a fundamental principle, that is, often when a bodily process is working effectively unhindered it does so best unnoticed. We notice when things go awry. Later the qi ideogram was linked with a more complex logoform image, the steam or vapour seen rising above a covered pot cooking, on a stove, filled with rice in boiling steaming water.  Later the pictograph image, it incorporates these three wavy lines with a sickle like a plough added in the lower portion, indicating sowing, breaking up the soil, the penetration of the heavenly sun shimmery wave breaths into soil of earth, producing new green life. If this interpretation is true, then it also points to the human element, the growers of rice, the rice harvesters working in cooperation with their cooking, with the five elements visible. A metal cooking vessel over a fire of burning wood, rice grains from the earth, fire heat, moist water, a metal pot. So it may be correct to in some ways talk of qi as an overarching premise, yet the qi of the human realm is always smaller than that, more personal inhabiting the visible world of action in 5 senses, touch- stirring the rice, taste the sweetness of rice, seeing the rising steam, hearing the boiling sound, smelling the fire and flavour of boiling rice sensed through the nose olfactory smell. Qi may be associated with the three unbroken lines of ch’ien, of heaven but our feet are on the ground on this turtle flat earth island, prairie south wind blowing. The pictograph for Qi symbolizes a kind of vitality that rises upward and also descends. Qi streams down upon us down here as above ground persons on the flat earth prairie, this heaven enters earth. Then the qi rises, like water evaporating from a lake rising into heaven, forming clouds. When we look up and see 21.6.2024 the waxing gibbous moon in Sagittarius, sun in gemini, at mid sommer solstice, it dips in and out of clouds dancing. This walking in clouds as clouds dancing is no different than mountains walking, or our feet turning the wheel of our bicycles. As above as below, sun streaming as solar heavenly sunshine doing all kinds of creation. Earth essence rising, back and forth. We can call the two legged above ground walking earth people as composed of heavenly qi and earth qi. Our human life is the cultivation of qi within the 5 seasons of spring, early summer, late summer, autumn, and winter. Our life as cultivating gathering qi creates infancy, youth, adulthood, old age and death. When qi can no longer be gathered it becomes more and more diffused, less focused, distracted and the qi disperses and separates and our life ends. Our bodies and all the component processes of our human life stop, we die. The body dies when the qi is no longer collected and it disperses. The three lines again form the basic yang trigram Ch’ien heaven. Then the two ch’ien heaven trigrams forming the definitive yang yang, first hexagram of the Yi Jing, as the first grouping, heaven over heaven. The first emanation of the 64 changes in all the various patterns unfolding.

For the medicine, for the medicine,

You’ve given me today. 

I ride my bicycle.

I thank you, wild herb ways.

Thank you Dad, thank you Mom.

For giving me birth, so long ago.

This medicine road is endless,

Our well being is non-negotiable,

Blessings wild herb ways,

Thank you Dad, thank you Mom.

Thank you sun, thank you moon.

Thank you sun. and moon.


On this above ground day, midsummer solstice eve,,,

The sun is in gemini and the moon in Capricorn.

I walk through fields of flowers. I ride my bicycle.

I stare at blue sky, clouds and the south wind,

Thank you father, 

Thank you Dad, thank you Mom

Thank you sun and moon.

Midsommer, midsommer solstice,

Thank you Dad, thank you Mom

Thank you sun and moon.

Thank you sun and moon.









    


 The second element is the yang and yin, the dao of heaven and earth, these co-related opposing yet cooperative things. Yang is the bright sunny side while yin is dark, in shadow side, sun and moon, one divided into two. These contrary natures are attracted to one another. Water is downward inward moving coolness, fire is upward outward moving warmth. Water and fire are the embodiments of yin and yang. We classify according to comparison. In addition yin becomes yang and yang becomes as in day and night, night and day. Substance is yin and function is yang. There is yin within yang and yang within yin. Yang waxes and yin wanes, yin waxes and yang wanes. It's dark then gradually the light in the east, day comes. We are young and strong sexually attractive, wanted and desired, then we are cast off, no one gives a thought or consideration to what we have to say. We are worn out, wrinkled, impaired, broken and every axis of our being in old age suffers decline. There is not a single bio system that is not tainted with the failure of sickness, weakness, old age and death. We are visible, then we become invisible.


    Qi takes countless forms and allows one thing to become another. It is important to understand that qi is not a universal spirit, inserted into lifeless stuff like a spirit injection. The idea is quite a shaking up of things, the web without a weaver. Qi is localized to the situation here being the organ system. A universal spirit, as an universal life force is not the best approach to understand the localized forms qi takes within each body organ system activity. As an example the following statements about bodily fluids may be substantially true, yet they are not useful. Mucus is mainly water, urine is mainly water, cerebral spinal fluid is mainly water, saliva is mainly water. Yes it is true that these four bodily fluids are upwards of 95% water yet everything about their activity in the body is different. Yes saliva and cerebral spinal fluid are 99% water, yet that doesn’t make spinal fluid and saliva equivalent substances in the body. Qi in the body means there are many different kinds of qi in the body. In that way qi in the body is localized to function, by that function and so as we said, qi takes countless forms and allows one thing to become another. Qi is most appropriate as a concept when connected to specific fluid situations as process. 

    Stomach spleen is here understood both as the cooperative organ associates and the organ system processes that these organ systems work. Purple sweet root herb tonifies spleen stomach complex, by nourishing the splenetic stomachtic pathway. In the Asian Chinese system the spleen and stomach are interdependent and complimentary. The stomach moves downward while the spleen moves up. The spleen is considered a yin organ while the stomach is yang. Spleen governs transport and transformation, spleen stomach transforms food becoming sources of qi and blood. Original prenatal qi comes from our mother and father and is the kidney qi, postnatal qi is from food and drink and is processed by the spleen mixed with the kidney qi, sent to the lungs, breath qi distributed throughout the body. 

     In general terms of western conceptual anatomy, within the dominant culture the basic concept seems to be that for each described organ and each organ system, each organ and each organ system operates relatively independently. Therefore the anatomy of selfish  individualism run amoc, private property with little public space. While such a categorization was used initially on the level of anatomical dissection, for the purpose of learning and teaching, it has now overtaken the conceptual framework. The heart for instance is a word with a rich nuanced history that was jettisoned and stripped so now the heart is a kind of pump. The heart was once an organ of perception, of love, of warmth, of passion, of friendship and commitment. Now reduced to a pump. In our own historical western framework we have a much more nuanced understanding for the organs, parts and functions of the body that has undergone erasure and replacement within the prevailing preferred lexicon of organ systems and anatomy, on the conceptual level. Just as we have a mechanized industrial culture. We have an industrial mechanized framework of ideas to fit our medicine and health care. So we could say a fundamental truth of this style of anatomy has an analogy in the political science, organizing and validating behaviour, and thereby reinforcing the political correctness of hyper selfish individualism. With the mechanized anatomy supporting similar concepts of the mechanized medical health care delivery system through the organs and organ systems. First it’s important to realize the organ systems as independently functioning entities, exist apart from any system east or west used to describe them. Labeling something does not create or change that something. Just as water has different words in different languages but retains its essence as water regardless of the words to describe water. Dividing the organs up into little fiefdoms is a kind of mnemonic learning device in simplistic anatomy. This scientific understanding was never posited that the stomach functions somehow free and clear of the adjacent organs. Codependency, mutual benefit and cooperation is the root of the organ systems regardless what terms are used to verbally describe these cooperative intertwined systems.

https://pgmanski.blogspot.com/2024/01/tree-qigong.html



     In this kind of simplistic mechanized derivative anatomy, the stomach is a hollow tube, an organ of digestion. The spleen is understood as a blood filter. Usually when talking about the stomach the topic is related to digestion of food. While the spleen is understood as a kind of specialized blood filter device. The spleen is about 4 inches long, 3 inches wide and 1.5 inches thick. Its color is purple. It weighing about a half pound. A person who studied simplistic trade traditional anatomy will think it rather odd, bizarre or random to talk about the spleen and stomach as closely aligned body organs acting within a common organ system. That the spleen has emotional energy. The heart can break. The Immaculate heart of Mary, the Sacred heart of Jesus. Someone is sick to their stomach. Losing your lover best friend is a punch to the gut. People point at themselves, they point at the heart. That's me, that's who I am. The spleen is sulky and preoccupied, pensive, ruminating. All these associations with a rich mytho poesis then suddenly, the only analogy permitted by their dominant culture are plumbing metaphors, tubes, pumps and pipes. Suddenly we are machines and cogs in a wheel, we are parts. Look you are alive, and anything that worked previously works now. An obsidian blade cuts as well today as it did ten thousand years ago. While the spleen is acknowledged co-habiting physical space in direct physical proximity to the stomach, it usually is conceptually disassociated from the stomach and digestion. As if even though the stomach and spleen are directly next to one another, it is a kind of accident that this physical proximity exists. As if the spleen and stomach are two adjacent suburban homes, separated by manicured grass with completely separate unrelated occupants, who rarely make eye contact, who never interact, sharing only a vague relationship. You can see it’s a peculiar, reflective, projected anatomy that is distinctively political and mechanistic derived. As if the anatomy of a human being is the same as the internal parts of an american automobile. All the stuff inside the body are stuffed into the skin bag shell. As if the anatomy of a person is exactly like the components of an automobile. As if components in an automobile or mechanical system are the same as components in a living human body. The same way the automobile is thrown together with the car battery next to the car radiator, without any meaningful placement of the parts. It’s totally accidental that the battery electrical system is next to the heating cooling radiator. There is nothing shared between battery and radiator but lines on a mechanical diagram. In the same way as the american state of Kansas is a near perfect rectangle, with two paralell 410 mile east west, straight line boundaries drawn on a geometric, mechanical drawing board. Whatever Kansas is, or was is now described and defined and contained in the straight lines and square corners drawn with an ink pen on a sheet of graph paper. Lines drawn with no respect to rivers, hills, plants, animals or people who live within those lines. Likewise a mapped mechanized anatomy to fit a mechanistic worldview with the dominated mechanized people, required to live their monotonous meaningless lives within those straight line mandated boundaries within those stark square boundaries, replaceable malleable consumers of no consequence. 

     The stomach is located in the upper left quadrant of the abdominal area. The stomach is below the diaphragm next to the spleen. It's slightly to the left of the body's midline, between the esophagus and the duodenum, and behind the pancreas. The top of the stomach connects to the esophageal sphincter, a muscle at the end of the esophagus, and the bottom connects to the small intestine. 


    Turtle island purple sweet root also known as purple prairie clover, Dalea purpurea. Daleas known as indigo bush or purple D. purpurea and white D. candida, prairie clovers are new world plants of the western hemisphere. Despite being called a clover, clovers are old world plants in the Trifolium family. Daleas are in the same pea bean family member but are normally not considered a clover. Both are considered Legumaceae, Fabaceae family plant persons. Plant person refers to the genius operative heart of our world teacher known to us as our world teacher genius Wild Herb Ways. Wild herb ways allows us to nourish biospirit, promoting mutual wellbeing thus halting the process of white victimization directed against us as erasure. Purple sweet root is our premier splenetic stomach herb and is a great gift from the creative genius mind of wild herb ways to facilitate our wellbeing because we are an emblematic people. Everything about us is we ours and us. Those are the primordial pronouns we use to obtain our group wellbeing, an us, a people.

    Purple sweet root Dalea purpurea presents 15.6.2024 at first quarter Libra moon, just coming into flower. A tall stem topped with a distinctive purple thimble shape, cone like flower cylindrical spike, although not in the asteracea family with the other black eyed susan-esque, echinacea, rudbeckia and other aster cone flowers nearby. It is considered a pea or bean family legume. The individual tiny flowers on the thimble began to open purply pink from the bottom, moving upward towards the cone shaped grey green top hat. The stem is covered with pubescent bristly hairs. The leaves are compound lanceolate in a 3-fold pattern emerging alternate densely covering the stem towards the base and less so towards the flowering purple fringed cone. The flowery stems in this area are distinctively single although in other areas it maybe flowering in clumps. The turtle island sweet root emerges from a deep tap root. It’s flavour and energetics are sweet, and fruity. It has overtones of melon on the tongue. If you run your hand up the stalk and rake off the leaves, it’s leaves are soft to touch, making a sweet fragrance totally unlike the other thimble shaped cone leaves of the aster family.

sweet root is known as a style of prairie flat earth deer medicine and prairie chicken medicine. As an herb, it is a sovereign divine being, sent to heal the condition of our time as ourselves. Prairie chicken and deer are both considered sweet, nourishing stomach spleen, enabling us to keep sweet. Many of you are familiar with the parting goodbye, “Keep sweet.” Keeping sweet means to thus nourish the spleen and maximize the splenetic pathway for maximum wellbeing. Keeping sweet is a familiar term used and means one is composed, at ease and acting spontaneously in together action as opposed to the bizarre selfish hyper individualism that is the framework of the infiltrated eco-zone. Turtle Island sweet root is a deep tap rooted perennial that devotes itself to zig zag lightning from sky father and the rooted all mother intuited as our all mother of grottos, springs, cave, glade, prairie and flat earth elm wood. She, the plant person who we devotedly pray enjoining her to bless our decisions in the above ground world, takes the circulating shakti power of air circulating in the atmosphere and makes herself available as rapturous sweet embrace, deep rooted flat earth, purple fragrant sweet root medicine, as leaf stem and flower. The living blessedness of the divine female energy in a living bio-system, is the inherent blessingway of our Holy Mother of God, all the divine motherhood of person plant and place contained in the Euro world preserved in traditional Catholic and pagan Nordic, Sunna, Freya. The unification of earth and sky, mother and father, united as partners and confidants in the celestial marriage chamber and holds the supreme key of spiritual, psychological and bodily well-being known as bio-spirit. Connecting big world Mother energy we can connect big and small world energies of healing in a flat earth prairie vitalism, as above so below– both for healing ourselves and healing others. These begin with the air through which we live, move and have our being as pneuma, spirit placed in our nostrils before birth as we circled around, we circle around, the boundaries of the earth. Wearing long wing feathers as we fly, we circle around. We circled around the boundaries of the earth, awaiting embodiment in a tabernacle at the moment of conception. So which contains the vitality of life as prana qi vital spark within us circulating as in out breathing. The english word atmosphere refers to a vapourous gas exhaled by the living earth and surrounds the planet. The atmos sphere, the atman spirit of our people, our ancestors, our beautiful white wellbeing herbal family.  The inherent blessingway of our Holy Mother of God, all the divine motherhood of person plant and place, Mary, Ave Maria, Sunna, Freya.

There is only one single thing to give up, our selfish individualism. Whatever basket contained us then contains us now. I can pray to Jesus, I can say the Pater Noster the Our Father, as my grand parents and parents said it. I can say the Ave Maria. Because who i am is an us. Who I am is a we. What my father and his father honoured, I can honour. There is only the love we have for each other as a people, that love is also for our immediate ancestors. I believe in you, as saint living beings, guiding and protecting me here now. I know and believe in the communion of saints and the forgiveness of sin, the resurrection of the body and the life of the world to come. I see through a clouded glass, in the same framework my parents believed, my grandparents believed. Yet I believe not only their understanding, a failed understanding, an infiltrated understanding which obviously brought us here, I believe also in the tyranny of experience as experience, the experience of my peers.




    “‘Tis Observed, in the Solary Eclipses, that there is some times a great Trepidation about the Body of the Moon, from which we may likewise argue an Atmo-sphaera, since we cannot well conceive what so probable a cause there should be of such an appearance as this, Quod radii Solares a vaporibus Lunam ambientibus fuerint intercisi, that the Sun-beams were broken and refracted by the Vapours that encompassed the Moon. [Rev. John Wilkins, "Discovery of New World or Discourse tending to prove that it probable there may be another World in the Moon," 1638]

     As such we are particularly devoted to the re-emergence and deepening patriarchy of our father god, and call upon him, Wotan to nourish our white family, and nourish our white values from being compromised by antiwhite intentions of harm through the victimization of our people. We invoke this world and the spiritual world of our ancestors, of Christ, of Wotan to halt the victimization of our people. We are in a situation like Spain in 1480, we are in a generational struggle. If there is one word to remember it is cunning. Only a fool shares the inner heart with a stranger. We have no need to telegraph our plans. Yet our plans and intentions are 100% always for our people, our kith and kin. Our means and goals is to always guard against the selfish hyper individualism that is symbolized by the flag of white erasure that was central to the victimization and erasure of our people in the 30 years war 1914-1945 inflicted upon our european homelands by the oligarchs. The reality is these wars of erasure going back to the fabulous monster Abraham Lincoln, who led the war of northern aggression against the southern folk, left 1,000,000 dead in his war against our people. The mindset to have inflicted countless misery for those who do their dance of death under whatever cause they claim, we disavow. One aside, I met a Kansas wheat farmer couple married 57 years. The husband in a wheeled chair with his wife strapping his leg so he could exercise. I noticed unhealed diabetic ulceration on his lower leg and wanted to share red oil, a potent healing salve for our people since the crusades of the middle ages. Red oil is made from the flowering tops of Hypericum perforatum, St John's wort. Knowing Kansas plants, I know that healing plant grows where he described his farm location. Here was a farmer who had lived his whole life on his farm, yet had never heard or seen the st john's wort growing beneath his feet. A farmer who knows nothing about the plants that grow on his land. I want to make clear I felt a bond with this farmer and his loving wife caring for him. In fact thinking of him, I have cried, for what could have been. A tennant farmer of the industrial complex, a farmer whose connection to the earth has been severed, white erased, in their generational paradigm. I've learned cunning, to always be wary, under any circumstances to use discretion to share herbal remedies directly with the dominant culturist. They frequently have an angled perspective mounted on the surveillance media police state premise of watch, report, shun, and destroy. Their motto is often regime first, everything for the regime. Although I know there are folk first farmers, the entanglements of land ownership here means that farmers are regime 5-year plan farmers. My motto and the motto of our genius world teacher wild herb ways, is was and will be, "Folk first.", and " Evaluate everything for the wellbeing of our people.", that is the test, that is the formula.

As we pray, “Our father who guides and protects, holy is thy name.” We think of Prairie sweet root as a pathway aspect of our sky father God who we invoke, when we say, “Thank you father, blessings always to our white european ancestors.” Purple sweet root channels the zig zag lightning of tornado alley that circulates as cloud wind energy. Purple sweet root through its deep root taps into useful nutritive gentle supportive love. In a theory of science this is voiced, understood as a nitrogen fixing plant person. Nitrogen fixing plants are often legumes but are not limited to legumes. The nitrogen fixing plants fall across plants in several diverse plant families, such as alder, Turtle island prairie redroot, lead plant, milk vetch, Desmodium spp, and rather than a specific plant family points to a process of cooperative symbiosis with plant roots, soil bacteria, the ambient air, and complex heavenly process such as lightning and fire. Turbulent air embracing meeting earth. The sacred land sacred sex dynamis is why our genius world teacher wild herb ways advises men and women to copulate outdoors in fields, just as our white fore fathers and fore mothers did the same to invigorate their fields and gardens. In this way we re-enact celestial marriage vows, to experience our sacred space. We invite the earth plant people into our lives and becomes the zigzag lightning that penetrates as wind into the female body symbolized by the vagina. 


     For instance we can tend to think of respiration as our own personalized, localized breathing air, in a selfish hyper individualist perspective taking in oxygen, exhaling carbon dioxide. Yes our breathing is our own, in a personal way but it is equally a group symphony of all beings, including bird song breaths, tree leaf breaths and flat earth prairie breaths included in our respirations. However plant persons make up the vast majority of group together being respiration breaths. Our animal breaths are symbiotically located within the plant dominant 80/20, nitrogen oxygen breath ecosystem. We never co-exist outside plant breathing. The air we inhale is only 15% -20% oxygen depending on elevation. The vast majority of the air we breathe is 80%-85% nitrogen. Nitrogen is the 4th most common element composing the human body after oxygen, hydrogen, and carbon. While it may be true on some theoretical level that the air we breathe is composed of 80-85% percent nitrogen and somehow the nitrogen simply is an inert substance devoid of purpose or meaning inhaled and exhaled unchanged, and that the nitrogen that composes most of what we breath in and out has no role in our respiration, that is simply flawed logic. We have ample evidence that if a person were fed an exclusive breath diet of 100% oxygen, they would rapidly suffer oxygen toxicity. We could describe that oxygen toxicity as either acute oxygen toxicity with damage to the CNS nerves or chronic oxygen toxicity with damage to the lungs, respiratory and circulatory systems. It would be false to describe oxygen toxicity as breathing too much oxygen because it is equally breathing not enough nitrogen. We could call oxygen toxicity nitrogen deprivation. Our breathing has emerged and our entire compendium of process is situated in the 80% nitrogen 20% oxygen environment.

     “Extended exposure to above-normal oxygen partial pressures or shorter exposures to very high partial pressures can cause oxidative damage to cell membranes leading to the collapse of the alveoli in the lungs.  Pulmonary effects can present as early as within 24 hours of breathing pure oxygen.  Symptoms include pleuritic chest pain, substernal heaviness, coughing, and dyspnea secondary to tracheobronchitis and absorptive atelectasis, which can lead to pulmonary edema.  Pulmonary symptoms typically abate 4 hours after cessation of exposure in the majority of patients.  CNS effects manifest with a multitude of potential symptoms.  Early symptoms and signs are quite variable, but the twitching of the perioral and small muscles of the hand is a fairly consistent feature.  If exposure to oxygen pressures is sustained, tinnitus, dysphoria, nausea, and generalized convulsions can develop. CNS toxicity is expedited by factors such as raised PCO2, stress, fatigue, and cold.” (Thomson L, Paton J. Oxygen toxicity. Paediatr Respir Rev. 2014 Jun;15(2):120-3. [PubMed] [Reference list])

     The key point in this 80/20 nitro oxygen dialogue is the imperative of vitalism, the principle of gestalt integrity within all biological process. We can describe ourselves as composed of discreet separated theoretical process but whenever under any condition, the technology develops so we attempt to micromanage into reality these discreet separated theoretical processes, we experience either acute or chronic dis-ease and ill health. In this case the hyperbaric chamber or 100% oxygen delivery system. We are simply not and never meant to consume a 100% oxygen  So yes it’s possible to develop a techno machinery delivery system to deliver 100% oxygen, but such a breathing diet is inherently not conducive to health.. In theory it sounds good if 20% oxygen is good, and the 80% nitrogen we breathe is an inert non-factor in breathing,  then 100% oxygen is a better, iproved way to breathe. Which is fundamentally false. Our entire breathing process is rooted in the 80/20 nitro-oxygen paradigm. Just because we have aped the technological prowess to deliver 100% oxygen does not mean it then becomes an ultimate value to be implemented into experience. Breathing 100% oxygen is to poison the breathing process. 

     We can go further into the imperative of vitalism, and the principle of gestalt integrity within all biological process with the fundamental untruth of ‘because something feels good is good.’. Because something feels good does not mean it is good. The neurotic fetish verbalized by statements like, “It’s all good.”, “absolutely”, “Have a nice day.”, “Each to his own.”, “Do your own thing.”, “If it feels good, do it.”  We were talking about sweet taste and the spleen. This does not translate into the sugar, high fructose corn syrup environment death style inflicted upon the culture. Sugar apart and separated from itself does not exist in nature in the exact same way that 100% oxygen does not exist within our genetic experience as self. Added sugar high fructose corn syrup is a deadly poison and part of the erasure of our people into ill health, lowered potential and biospiritual slavery via diminished potential via the food industry farming factory  .

     


The best purple turtle island sweet root has a together relationship with turtle island rose, Rosa setigira. The thorn rune, known as Thurisaz, is a protective boundary energy is summoned by making the 'th' sound, like the ‘th’-sound in the word ‘thorn’, as in hawthorn. Yet here we are not considering runes from historical archeology. We are talking about the prayerful use of runes that exist all around us as thornful rose family plants. Hawthorn is one such rose family plant that we use for medicine, both medicinal teas, tinctures and so on and as protective prayer plants to both remedy biospirit and protect our bodies, dwelling places and establish boundaries. Hawthorn as in a hedge or fence, a delineated boundary composed of the rose family plant Crataegus spp, hawthorn with its thorny branches. Placing the tongue on the upper teeth by coordinating in and out breathing. Standing erect, with the right arm hanging unencumbered, relaxed, the hand open, and fingers pointing down, the left arm forming a triangle over the portion of the abdomen housing the stomach and spleen and the vital upward moving splenetic pathway, along with the downward moving stomach pathway. The emotion of the spleen is worry, pensiveness, uncertainty, anxiety

      The spleen is inextricably related to the early spring summer. The hours of spleen are the morning hours 9-11am. While the stomach is most active between the hours of 7am-9am. The stomach time of year is the first months of summer heat, fire within earth. The spleen as a person is ok with having a body. Like a small Stomach green snake who emerges during the warmth of summer, who crawls on the ground, relatively quiet and unobtrusive. Who doesn’t have exhausting oppositional tendencies. Who is not oppositional with doing the dishes, a person who doesn’t need to take credit. A person who doesn’t wave hands in flamboyant gestures. We could say don’t waste time blaming others. The stomach takes in food and digests while the spleen distributes the essence of the food throughout the body. The typical problems of spleen stomach dysfunction are abdominal distention, bloating, abdominal pain, regurgitation and gastric distress.       


       

    The spleen is located in the upper left side of the abdomen, behind the left ribs, and next to the stomach. The spleen along with stomach coordinates as an earth organ. The spleen enables the food we eat to be assimilated where it is mixed with air in the lungs and sent throughout the body to nourish marrow and sinew. The spleen can be visualized located as it is between the ninth and 11th ribs, below the left costal margin, and positioned between the diaphragm and the fundus of the stomach.

What follows is a way to integrate protective prayer with the body system, the actual body. Here directly from the genius World Teacher is extracted a discription of how to form then rune, Thurisaz. You can incorporate the bodily position on the first Thors-day of the month for Wotan's monthly day of prayer. Here you incorporate the body with the runic form honouring your spleen.With the left hand resting on the hip creating an outward pointing triangle or thorn rune. This is known as the thorn which facilitates an energy pathway into through the splenetic pathway of digestion, absorption of nutrients into the utilization body from the lower burner. One can assume this mudra of protection to liberate the splenetic pathway. This position of the thorn rune can be cycled, alternated with the left hand, then the right hand hanging down, producing the thorn sign of protection on left and right sides of the body. The thorn rune drawn as a straight vertical line with an outward pointing triangle of two lines, can be visualized and drawn upon objects, spaces for protection and nurturing. A grouping of rocks can be positioned in this pattern with intention, especially with regard to medicine garden areas utilized in promoting biospirit. This pattern can help connect with our boundaries and repel life threatening energies pathwayed against us as erasure. I want to add a significant understanding which many folk will find offensive, that is what I said before, an obsidian blade cuts as well today as it cut 10,000 years ago for our neolithic ancestors. Many volkish pagans will be brought low to cringe to think of a euro-man walking on this turtle island seamlessly going from rune to sign of the cross, from Wotan to the Virgin Mary, from herbs to motorcar, all I can say is, "I do.", in the sense of a alchemical marriage vow. My teaching is do not childishly throw away the ways of your ancestors in a purity spiral. When you meet life and death face to face, you will understand what I mean. Everything belongs to you to use to maximize biospirit, to thrive, to become stronger. Time will sort things out.

     The spleen is symptomatic in the prescriptive vs descriptive paradigm and not so much substance oriented. When we use the term spleen, we refer both to the body organ system and the body process patterns. Spleen is process becoming. Related to the first months of summer, fire within earth. The spleen is an ongoing pattern. Often times it's not until an imbalance occurs as illness, lower functioning becoming within a negative self sabotage script, that we become aware of body process patterns such as spleen. When body process patterns are moving smoothly they are more or less transparent and invisible. The goal in health is thus to have an invisible body based on trust in the healing process, that doesn’t have any need to show itself, but simply works in a problem free way. You don’t usually have body awareness until there is some kind of body dysfunction. You are not aware of your ankle until you sprain or twist your ankle. After you twist your ankle every step you take says, “Ankle. Ankle. Ankle. I am your ankle.” Before the ankle sprain you literally had no ankle. Likewise your heart beats 100,000 times a day, yet you have no awareness of your heart until you have heart palpitations, some irregularity in the rhythm, then you suddenly get a heart, as in angina or the heart attack. After your heart muscle partially dies then you suddenly have a heart. After your Mom dies and your heart breaks, then suddenly you have a heart. Before that when you called your Mom and visited and she made you cookies, you had no heart. Now your heart is everywhere. So with body dysregulation we tend to get body hyper identity. 

     The modern manipulation of trans cultural meta experiences via inserted tech, means a person will self identify desired regime associations. So within this context there's a de rigueur de facto required filth generator media device install complex actively functioning as a regime religio icon of erasure. These devices are requirements for the occupation dynamic of occupying and being occupied within extended social space. Known within dominant culture psyop scripting as an entertainment center, or television screen. People are required to install a filth generator in a central significant spot in the home. Just as muslim women are required to wear the various hijab burqa clothing in public society as part of the social contract. So to support the death culture war machine of bombs and poisons under the bloody red white and blue, pad and tampon flag of disorientation, you telegraph your approval of ever expanding economy culture, by mouthing some media platitude of fear. The dominant culturalist in the west is required, by the same mechanism of social contract to maintain and prominently display the filth generator entertainment complex centrally within their occupied spaces. A filth generator entertainment center is installed in their dwelling to dominate and negatively impact consciousness by visually and aurally continuous behavioral prompts that supply a lived in inhabited narrative that demands ill health and dis-ease as a social norm to facilitate white erasure. When you visit a dominant culturalist there is an extravagant need to show you their war machine techno booty stuff, as in big name brand items with an obvious label. If you are wearing sunglasses they have to be Christian Dior, Ray Bann. The tv entertainment center has got to be big, extensive, dominating, wall size, bigger, better, louder, theatre sound, and it has to be running continuously, broadcasting the antiwhite villain priority narrative. If you enter a dominant culture business the tv is running in the background, it could be a doctor’s office, a clinic, a petrol station, you’re always virtue signalling to your demographic. If a he or she is verbalizing talking it’s always some kind of a tv reference dialect, cinematic quote. “You know in the film called ‘x’, so and so says ‘y’. You know what I mean? Like really.”  We really like will self-inflict the negative feedback loop broadcast into the receptive mind. Thus their speech is an incomprehensible word salad mish mash littered with media reference. Every dialogue is some kind of cinematic vicarious click bait narrative referencing some icon influencer. The message of the countless hours spent transfixed in front of the filth generator complex being programmed via cinema videos is designed to inflict harm by producing a narrative that highlights hyper individualism and pathological altruism for the twin purpose of wealth redistribution and erasure of white european western values. Just as frequent consumption of the ubiquitous caffeinated diabetes serum such as coca cola or pepsi cola is a requirement of life under the oppressive red white and blue bloody tampon and pad insignia of the occupied antiwhite regime space, so too is the betrayal into childhood medication slavery provided by the health care police observatory rip off, jag off system guaranteed to diminish biospirit.


     Weak or disordered spleen, the body will have the following symptoms: lack of commitment to biospirit, a deracinated multi-cultural self, a tendency to self sabotage within an erasure narrative by virtue signalling within the villain narrative. A weakened spleen will self identify by stomach or abdominal bloating especially after eating, irregular bowel movement, weight gain, heavy and puffy arms and legs, poor quality sleep and insomnia. Some cases are accompanied by under-active thyroid, depressive chronic fatigue scenario and oedema. All these symptoms are associated with spleen qi deficiency or disorder. These people often self medicate according to dominant culture protocols. You may freely observe these persons carting liters, even half gallon containers of sugar syrup to fuel their evil agenda of ill health, filled with the ubiquitous diabetes juice known within the dominant culture erasure narrative as pepsi cola, coca cola. They crave sweets as per the insert points of the filth generator television screens providing expert flawleshly crafted villain narratives. Sweet flavours can help tonify spleen qi and energy. So let’s douse the children in diabetic coma juice to further the shelter in place die die die, buy buy buy story mythology fairy tale of endless, continuous economic growth.

    The sweet flavor tightens and tonifies, harmonizes, and moistens guiding qi to the spleen. Sweet is warming and expansive, aids in digestion, and is good for low energy, tension, and depression. However, due to its rich and cloying nature, sweet flavors also cause stagnation, dampness, and phlegm in the body. It is important to eat a balanced amount of sweets to avoid issues caused by damp or phlegm such as candida, growths such as tumors, cysts, and fibroids, or excess weight.

Sweet taste:

Earth Element

Spleen and Stomach meridians

Worry, pensiveness, uncertainty, anxiety

Late Summer or Times of Seasonal Transition

Sweet foods include potatoes, carrots, corn, grains, and honey.

Sweet herbs include licorice (gan cao), dang gui, and jujube dates (da zao).

     Tomorrow is July 4th, The First Thursday of each month is set aside as a day for white European westmen to honour our biospirit, our ancestors, our journey, because we are a people and white wellbeing is non-negotiable. We ask the Gods we honour to assist us in halting white victimization. On this day we focus on white wellbeing and halting white erasure. There are many ways you can do this. The only thing needed is the sincerity of your intention and a scientific spirit of inquiry to make an experiment.

Generations of our people have suffered the teratogenic effects of alcohol in the womb of their mothers, along with tobacco, marijuana, stimulants and pharmaceutical weapons meant to diminish the biospiritual potential of whites. Alcohol is a teratogenic substance. I prefer to use a home made non-alcoholic drink called an oxymel made from honey and apple cider vinegar to which are added wild harvested herbs such as wild bergamot monarda, yarrow, artemisia, Hypericum St Johns wort, juniper berries, fresh hops, or pedicularis.

Tree Qigong

     Grasp vitalism here and now, vitalism and biospirit.


https://youtu.be/KiSyRxgcxRo?feature=shared

The important thing is moving into a position where you learn and accept responsibility for working to nourish vitality, as ownership. We nourish vitality by doing well, eating well, working well, resting well, sleeping well, loving well, fucking well. No one is going to do the work for you. Following qigong or biospirit. Qigong is a word, two  words qi and gong,  originally from China which meant nourishing/cultivating, working with vital energy, so biospirit work to ensure mutual benefit. What is biospirit? We take the position that spirit can often be a misleading term to use because it posits a portion of ourselves like a spiritual soul that exists apart from our physical body. So we want to avoid this duality, this opposing strategy of body and spirit. So biospirit is stating the goal achieving a unity of intention and practice, bio referring to the actual body of biological process, and spirit referring to the intangible qualities of will, intention meets practice, so biospirit. People may say ‘I’m spiritual not religious.’, meaning they have a personal private way of maintaining their dignity and viability as a person, which of course is wonderful. Equally wonderful is to say, ‘I am not spiritual, I am religious.”. Practice has nothing to do with rejection of a group practice in favor of a personal practice. So we are not advocating ‘jiriki vs tariki’, self power vs other power. I prefer to say owning the body, occupying the body, embodying the life process, embracing life process. Mutual benefit means whether one practices alone or with others, due to the interconnected nature of things there is connection and the benefits identified as accumulation of self also benefit others. 

https://youtu.be/bYd03dxyXQc?feature=shared


    Qigong, biospirit is contained right here right now in the actual moment, your moment, your best you in terms of mutual benefit. It is all mutual benefit, nothing is done alone. We continuously barter with experience never acting within a vacuum. More better for self and more better for others. Creating an appreciation for resilience with intention, and so using precious time and energy in a good way, for mutual good you well being.   

    Here is the english translation from James Legge of an old Chinese book, Daotejing, also known as Tao Te Ching. The reason I use the James Legge translation, is that Legge went to China as a missionary in 1840 and began his translation in old China. His translation also seems more free today in directly translating terms. His translation was not published in english until 1891.:

 “Heaven and earth do not act from (the impulse of) any wish to be

benevolent; they deal with all things as the dogs of grass are dealt

with. The sages do not act from (any wish to be) benevolent; they

deal with the people as the dogs of grass are dealt with…May not the space between heaven and earth be compared to a bellows?

'Tis emptied, yet it loses not its power;
'Tis moved again, and sends forth air the more.
Much speech to swift exhaustion lead we see;
Your inner being guard, and keep it free.”

-Daoteching Tao Te Ching chap 5 James Legge trans 1891

     Chapter 5 of the DaoTeJing offers us a sobering observation, it says that the power of heaven, vitality that is life here on the earth, is quite neutral to our plans and objectives. Nature has no human sense of honour, gratitude, family, kindness or morality. In the words of the Daotejing our lives resemble straw dogs used in an elaborate ritual sacrifice, constructed as an offering in ritual sacrifice, treated with reverence, used, then cast off and trampled underfoot as the straw that they are, these human constructions are after all not real dogs but dog image symbols made of straw. Likewise the sage, the government of the people, the current regime, whatever, uses and sees us in the same way as valueless straw dogs, fit for heroic soldier cannon fodder in wars and so on, then discarded. Used then thrown away in a modern analogy, disposable people. People used then forgotten, erased from memory as so much garbage to be hauled to the solid waste disposal site. 

    Further, nature is like a bellows which has its power rooted in its ability to suck air and blow it out. The power actively functions only within that empty space. In order for the bellows pump to function it requires fluidity within that space, free from blockage. Regarding both nature’s lack of morality, and government regimes who treat their citizens as means to their ends? It's best to fly under the radar and do the work one has to do to preserve life rather than single oneself out as a target of regime erasure. In other words it’s better to exercise restraint rather than be restrained.  

     We can here elaborate on grandiose pretensions and the importance of being rooted and grounded. Frequently when hearing of natural disasters the question arises, Why place oneself in harm’s way? Why live on the gulf coast or Florida with hurricanes? Or in midwest Kansas in tornado alley? Or in the mountains of the west with wild fires? Or along rivers that flood? Along the ring of fire with earth quakes, tsunami’s and volcanoes that erupt? Well people live along oceans in Florida because there are mild winters there. There is beautiful land with open skies and rich soil in Kansas. The mountains are mountains. Rivers have life, where there is water there is life. The earth is already populated and the good places are already taken. As far as tyrannical governments? Well again the flight of moving and leaving home, jobs, family is not an option for most. 

    


  We have many examples from our own history of erasable, replaceable situations, and erasable replaceable straw dog people. In the American west there are many example of the fantastic grandiose bizarre disregard for things, places and people in regime objectives. There is the Nevada test site where 1000 atomic bombs were exploded for tests. If you trust the statistics, the regime claims 100 of these tests were above ground atomic explosions. In cities like St George it was common to know old men and women, casualties of these atomic tests. Straw dog people with leukemia, old women with spontaneous abortions and miscarriages, all kinds of cancer, mostly among the healthiest, longest lived americans, the traditional Mormons. They were called down winders and could claim a monetary claim for their cancers and suffering due to radioactive fallout drifting on prevailing westerly winds from the regime atomic tests. The going compensation with inflation was less than the value of a new pickup truck. Later these radioactive isotopes were recycled into the grass and forbs, then into meat and milk. Likewise with 900 underground atomic explosions the water table was contaminated with radioactive cancer causing elements. These irrigated farm lands use groundwater from slow moving aquifers that depending on depth are a kind of semi-fossilized water. Farm lands and grass lands in the area of Nevada, Utah, and Arizona supplied and still supply all kinds of crops that people consume. The down winders program expires this year in 2024. The downwinders program was extremely limited and was only for people who lived in select counties like Kane and Garfield counties between 1958-1962. Numerous studies indicate the radiation was not limited to these counties but deposited over the whole of North America. There were thousands of soldiers, civilian and military workers employed directly at the test site in Nevada, uranium mines, and millions more who lived in the inter mountain west. This is an example of a principle that confirms the ancient Chinese notion that governments have to be viewed with caution. We could go on with examples of governments treating their citizens without respecting their citizen's inherent value, yet that is not the intention here. 

          Understand this opportunity to practice in this particular moment. Time and place is fortuitous in itself without adding anything extra. Many people shill various kinds of end times, doom and gloom, woe is me scenarios, end of the line, disaster prophetic ending scripts. Let’s not descend into useless talk. We are here. You are here and you are you, that is enough. Regardless of how you view it, everyone lives in precious finite time. We do not need a special narrative to understand our human bodies, all created things have expiration dates stamped on them, from the tallest mountain to empires, nations, regime queens, kings and presidents, republics, religions, temples, cathedrals whatever, down to the foreheads of our faces. Finite time not only for the life process but the finite aspect of stages in the life process. All created, amassed, gathered things inevitably tend with time to separate into component parts. Once the point of maturity is reached, whatever skillful action you do connected with your own human body tends to decline, break down, become weaker, more fragile. Maybe you are too young to realize the truth of mortality. Maybe you have been fictionalized into a cult narrative of singularity where 75 year old’s appear to have found the fountain of youth and you interact with their AI holograms online in fun virtual totally fake events. Or perhaps you enjoy watching long dead film stars from bygone times kiss and romanticize in cinema? Life does not matter a flying fuck how you see time, father time wins all battles. If there is a victory in singularity it is precisely in the enslavement into paranoia and the enrichment of elites. First, AI has already approached human levels of consciousness, intelligence and doingness. The complex known as artificial general intelligence AGI, is integrated into many human ecosystems.  AGI is localized and those isolated areas free of AI contagion will continue to  see de-population strategies and harm resistance strategies. Full implementation will be gradual, the analogy of a frog in a pot of water, then gradually heating the water to boiling. So a large part of your life has the potential as occupied space for various kinds of bio-havesting. Within all this is grasping the unique nature of birth in a human body and the work, the real work of establishing relationships, and family networks.    

     Once a person reaches maturity a gradual decline begins, merging into a sharp decline as the aging process tends towards dissolution, old age and death. That is if you’re lucky to reach maturity and have developed the capacity to love deeply in the face of mortality. There is often a denial of aging and decline but a simple visit to a hospital with an orthopedic unit, a oncology unit, a dementia unit, the retirement home reveals the situation.  The body decays and because the mind is inherently body the mind itself decays. Nothing is preserved from decay except the process of becoming and there, in that process of further becoming, there is no personal space, no personal history. So we are deeply interested in human becoming. Not so interested in vitro further becoming. There is a reason why all olympic athletes are at their highest physical potential in their teen age years, in their twenties, not in their thirties and forties. Why are 20 something men and women so compelling, energetic, attractive? Youth is the possibility of further becoming. Both men and women in this complex mind-fuck of a society are strongly under the delusion of eternal youth. Now the ascension into singularity is part of this activity. Maybe you’ve been escalated into timelessness by digital photo filters. You’ll merge into digital space with a holographic essence. Life in digital photo shop heaven. 

     Let me tell you quite simply, most of you have already seen your best strongest years. It’s downhill from this point on. Prepare for the inevitable. Women, biological women, is that a term? Women, frequently have a deeper, more fundamental understanding of this universal end time scenario because they are born this way. They are alert and a little more cunning, scrupulous because they have an intrinsic wisdom, cultivated over endless generations to be life creators, mothers. Motherhood is the ultimate creativity. Women have been both fundamentally gifted and fundamentally burdened with bringing new human life into the world through their bodies. If women have penis envy then men have an even deeper neurotic fixation, vagina envy, uterus wanna be, breast fixation. And guess what, she can’t be an excellent he, and he is a much poorer compensating she. The whole yin yang love dance is based on incredible pleasure for further becoming. Further becoming is not a gimmick, it’s the be all end for all mutual benefit. Every dopamine, junky, john whore, addict gangsta staring relentlessly at their cordless portable telephone, got their first bang from their endogenous estrogen testosterone glands intelligently leading the way. Sex is the ultimate intelligence and a person who neglects this reality existentially suffers infinite loss. Celibacy never has and never will be an option. Women are intensely aware of finite time because it’s not forever they can achieve their highest good and highest potential for realization. This is in no way to say that non-reproductive women are useless. Neither are they to be in any way discarded. Even to say out loud that a woman’s highest ultimate good is to bear children is to voice a kind of hate speech or banned idea, which shows and illustrates quite clearly the strength of delusive social programming even in supposedly enlightened modern society. This negation of biological birth mother mom as the queen of heaven is of course a tenet of AI singularity. We’re stone age neandertals with cell phones, drones and nuclear weapons. If left to our own devices we would use all three simultaneously. Techno preachers drone on how machine self-awareness is our friend. Now already begun, there is no return back to a hate speech past. This is a safe space love fest with ongoing adaptations in unsupervised learning algorithms offered freely free first taste to unsuspecting children on their mandated tablet device designed to destroy all possibility of intelligent action. It’s frequently screamed, ‘You have no choice but the choiceless choice of submission to an unalterable future’.

     The biological clock is ticking for each of us which makes the present moment more precious and precarious for both men and women of all ages. To persevere and struggle knowing full well our transient ephemeral nature is your personal selfie story. Some people, because of terminal illness, are suddenly aware that their own personal time is inherently limited according to an unalterable fated script. Mortality comes knocking on the door in all kinds of different ways. Life is terminal illness and the outcome is well known, poignantly documented, barely grasped or understood. From the toddler in the terrible two’s saying no, no, no to the adolescent who thinks it a revolutionary concept to discover a penis or clitorus, to the boomer hanging on for one more miracle medical procedure, it’s an absurd I, me, mine shit show. That is precisely what we are countering, all of it. The shit show denies and distributes with a teaspoon the water you need by the gallon. 

    


 Right now at this moment there is a kind of break in the action. There’s some other clown world mystery being orchestrated, check for new updates. Or don’t? Some people have an opportunity to regroup and take advantage of this opportunity. Of course not everyone has this opportunity. Things when they reach their extreme then dissolve into the opposite. So we can say inclusiveness when taken to its extreme includes precisely no one. The desire for inclusiveness when taken to its ultimate becomes exclusionary. However ‘not everyone’ is a trap, because to include everyone in a sense is to both dis-include and make trivial the invitation. You are you for a reason. Your opportunity is your opportunity. Pathological altruism is a trap. Inviting everyone for dinner is not a possibility. You can invite a few guests, family, and maybe invite a few friends for dinner. That’s it. Not everyone can come to dinner. There is no table where everyone can be seated. Let’s be frank the intranets are a sham and including everyone in virtual reality means disassociating mostly everyone from reality. Each age has its challenges. Our challenge is to include love and human intimacy as the biological family in an age of addictive dopamine medi pharma dope fiends, and key board and smart phone junky gamers with no skin in the game. Our challenge is to be ourselves, human, flesh and blood, in an age of relentless automation. Our challenge is to be real men, real women, real children in an age of co-opted psyop hologram hybrids masquerading as our allies, our friends and our blended family members. Our challenge is similar to what it’s always been, to be or not to be, to find your family, your kind, your tribe, and hold on through thick and thin, sickness and health, death do us part. So essentially little has changed. It’s an old play and the actors change but the roles remain constant in the drama. 

    As an example, there’s a concept that by recording a musical performance, and sharing that digital recorded image of a perhaps real event, you can have everyone experience the musical event. So we as a society create and sell universal music performance. This is a fundamental gimmick and rip off. The problem is under those constraints, under that narrative, no one has music. Music has been destroyed by recording music then marketing recorded music as saleable digital product. Musical experience is the whole gestalt of getting dressed up, putting your clothes on, leaving your house, travel, going out to the theatre or musical venue. Sitting down, actually walking to a chair and sitting down. Listening and hearing the transient ephemeral fragile sounds. Then you have the musical artists. You have the actual musicians practicing, performing on stage, or in a living room, it doesn’t matter. That whole experience is music. The actual sound is just a little portion, a little slice of what music is. The other thing to grasp, the next thing to understand is that when the musician blows the horn, or plucks the string, that’s it. Then it’s over. There is a vibration, a sound, someone hears it, then it is over. It can not be taken back or redone. Music like most authentic, essential tasks in our boring face to face human life is quite fragile. 

     Some people are not hungry. They have lost the sense of hunger. They live as victims far beyond desire. Desire and longing, mutual benefit replaced by addiction porn hooker models of interaction. They have lost the ability to taste. They consume and would as soon launch a drone attack against you because your desire, your desire to taste is a threat to their narrative of addiction as health. The idea of feeding everyone is not an option. Even if you offered them food it would be misunderstood. For the work ahead you need to eat. We used to say quite emphatically, Painted cakes will not satisfy hunger. This goes exponentially for virtual digitally generated cakes. Many have the idea that a digitally painted AI cake may possibly satisfy hunger better. Of course we know we can not eat pictures in a cook book no matter how enticing the photographs in the cookbook. But maybe digital virtual motion pictures on a cordless portable telephone can satisfy hunger?  Better than a hand painted printed hard copy cake. Let’s be clear, neither digitally painted or hand painted cakes will satisfy hunger. Whether your food picture is fine art in a museum or on your computer screen,  good well prepared tasty food remains looked in its identity of food-ness. You need to chew the food and you need to swallow. The idea of saving others through the act of you swallowing food is fiction, undesirable fiction.  But..I like to say the word ‘but’ disqualifies everything said previously. In a sense saying ‘but’ does disqualify everything. The new intricate dharma of computerized painted cakes is the dopamine trap of addiction models of health. 

    So this is understanding vitalism from an easy perspective. Let’s begin with biospirit. Biospirit is flesh, blood, bones, sinews and muscle expressing itself in the bioregion. Biospirit is blood and soil. There are many so called religious, spiritual, social political paths that attempt to nourish us by demanding we deny the reality of our body. They promise to nourish by somehow denying the obvious. The vital fact is not that we have a body, it’s that we are a body. You are first your body, that is the hierarchy of needs. Neglect your body and you negate everything. 

     Lesser heavenly orbit, also known as the microcosmic orbit. What happens outside of the body, happens in some form inside the body. People are contained within the environmental process, that’s why many miss it. We are environment. It is a unified bounded whole. In terms of this people have various stories to describe what is happening. Fairy tales are probably the most scientific way of describing what is going on. Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, Children and Household stories, because at the deepest level for authentic biospirit we are children living in a house, under a roof, ecology, the earth household, Hansel and Gretel, the Goose Girl, Rapunzel, Snow White. It nearly possible to describe the you who you are and what you’re doing in the act of being you. Descriptions and explanation come much later. We are talking about repair. In that way it's hard to describe what you are intrinsically part of, and can not be separated from. So we have the difficulty of defining a word while not using the word. The Oxford english dictionary OED, defines life by using life in the definition of life, as, “The condition, quality, or fact of being a living person or animal; human or animal existence. Cf. soul, n. I.1.” We can with some training, define a word without using that same word. Websters Dictionary of 1828 defines life as, “In a general sense, that state of animals and plants, or of an organized being, in which its natural functions and motions are performed, or in which its organs are capable of performing their functions.”  Maybe the OED is a better definition, life is living, life is life. It becomes harder when we attempt to define a word by not using language words. It becomes problematic when we attempt to communicate, demonstrate talk silently without language or sounds. Here we are in a dokusan room, demonstrating mu, doing mu. Define life without words, without saying anything. Show colors to the blind, describe birds singing to the deaf. Define life without making a sound. Perhaps the idea of a fish attempting to describe the lake to another fish, contains this. The fish is totally immersed in the water, contained in the water. So the fish is unable to explain in any accurate description the lake because the the fish can not leave the water. All of the fish’s fishness is contained in life within the lake. The fish breathes water through its gills. The fish lives water. The fish is water. If the fish leaps onto the shore, in a few minutes the fish dies. What could the fish gain within fishness to flop on the shore? The frog probably best describes a creature, a living being, who could describe the lake in terms of the land and sky. The frog is fish and yet is not a fish. The frog begins as a tadpole, as an adult the frog can breathe air and also process oxygen through its skin surface while submerged in water during the winter. Perhaps in terms of animal living creatures, creatures like dolphin, whale, could describe the land vs water. A beaver could also describe the lake. The beaver has his mud and log lodge on the periphery of the lake. The beaver enters and leaves the lake. The beaver lives near the water. The beaver has lungs and breathes oxygen. The beaver swims in the water, leaves the water, gnaws on the poplar and willows. 

    In the womb, the baby has the microcosmic circulation happening. In the womb even though the circulation occurs with mama power, it is done completely spontaneously without interruption. The baby takes in the mother’s oxygen air through the placenta and the use of the umbilical cord connection. Although the umbilical cord is severed the connection with life can never be severed without ending life. The adult umbilical cord is not visible at the navel but the vital force connection is maintained. That is life, you are alive now, so that means likewise the circulation through connection is occurring. Circulation of what? That is a good question and answering the question of ‘what?’ is easy. It’s so easy. It is easy to miss. What is circulating is the vital force. What is the vital force? The answer to what is the vital force is a kind of superfluous question. You are the vital force. You are. You. Qi is a word for vital force. Qi gong is working with vital force and so doing mutually benefiting by maximizing life force. Whatever the vital force is, try submerging your head completely under water, what happens? So the answer to what is the vital force is a visceral answer. Submerge your head under water and you immediately have a single objective. Breathe. Get to air and breathe. Suck down air. Struggle with your whole being to suck down air, to breath.  Yes, the vital force is connected to oxygen, to breathing, to the endless heartbeats and circulation process. Circulation is movement. Without this vital force moving, circulating within you, you are dead. The process of death, dying, old age and death is the absence of the vital force. Sickness is thus a blockage of the vital force. Sickness is an inhibition of flow of life force. Death is the going away, the separation of the body into its component parts, dissolution. We can call life the skillful gathering of the vital force, and death the loss, subtraction, separation of this vital force. The goal thus becomes staying alive and mutual benefit. You want to stay alive with the caveat of life abundantly, bountiful life, lot’s of life, abundant supply so you can easily do the things you are called to do. Mutual benefit is the essence of a sound practice. The whole thing in the world, what you’re doing knowing it or not, is mutual benefit. There’s a viewpoint that prostitution is the oldest profession. We should respect that profession’s willingness to barter. All of us are prostitutes, sex workers, elaborate hookers with our community of pimps, john’s, tricks, protected markets, protection rackets, madames and so on, the bartered, cultivated GFE girl friend experience because it’s all about mutual benefit. We need to guard against absolute purity and impurity. Life is life and regardless of our little keyhole viewpoint, life makes its own rules. No one is absolutely pure or absolutely impure. 

    An important inescapable principle is that when things go so far they return to their opposite. The taiji symbol, means the great extreme. You see two intermingled swirls of white and black, in the center of dark is a drop of light, and in the center of dark is a drop of light. This is observed in the seasons. The shortest day occurs in December and already after December 21, the winter solstice, the days begin to lengthen. Even though in a sense winter has only just begun. Likewise in summer, by June 21 the days start to shorten even though the hottest days of July and August haven’t even begun. So we don’t want to pretend we are too pure, too perfect, too invested in the morality of a situation, because it is precisely in that impeccable place we meet our nemesis. It’s better to prepare to meet our nemesis, otherwise we get caught in a trap of purity and in that perspective we lose our way. It does no good to live as villain role players in a loser narrative. It’s peace and quiet that we need to go back to work again.

     The cycles occurring in the small body-body and the cycles occurring in the big body world could also be called patterns of process, patterns of change in the I Ching. The pattern process is likewise happening in both the small actual body and the greater big body. The greater big body outside could be called the ecosystem body. The sun yang and moon yin are important luminaries visible in the unlighted, unelectrified sky, the outside world. The sun and moon are patterns we can see and observe in the sky. The moon has a 28-29 day cycle of returning fullness and decreasing process. The sun has a diurnal, daily pattern, sun rise, sun set. The moon is more subtle than the sun, yet both cycles are valid. We are not attempting to make the sun fit into a 29 day moon cycle. Our process is to work within the various cycles for mutual benefit. 

    We actively pursue healthy living. We seek out nourishing, tasty nutritious food. We seek out clean fresh air. We look for good marriage partners with happy smiling faces who support us with positive regard. We want good neighborhoods to live in. We look for good schools where our children are educated with compassion, kindness, and learning to prepare them for a good, long happy life. These sorts of things are not on the periphery, they are central. They are fundamental. Healthy living maximizes healthy body. Healthy means balanced cycles and patterns. The key here is bio-spirit. Our best interests, our highest good involves accepting our physical body as fundamentally good, beautiful and central to  our path. Is that spiritual? Why? Although seemingly obvious there is this question, ‘why pursue healthy living?’ The answer to, ‘why pursue healthy body?’,  is biospirit.  In the long range goals a healthy life requires a healthy body. Sickness, weakness, infirmity is not a legitimate authentic goal for self or others. We can not authentically establish our well being in the harm of others. Suffering is indeed going to be there but we don’t cultivate suffering. We can not advocate suffering for others without harming ourselves. Pain here is legitimate, pursuing suffering is not.

    We can speak of legitimate authentic life. We can speak of a legitimate tradition. Anyone attempting to convince us to legitimize a goal of life that offers weakness, cowardice, apology, sickness, pain, original worthlessness sin, self loathing, self hate and so on must be understood as a mind rape within a cycle of abuse. Likewise because we can only live authentic lives in community our well being is group well being. Therefore our group well being is our own well being. 

    If you have ever met persons enslaved in a cycle of abuse you may see them at various places in the cycle of abuse. You may see them alternately hating and attacking their abuser. Or perhaps later gushing. praising the abuser in the kiss and make up stage. The abuse cycle is like the addiction model to substances. You may see the addict praising sobriety, later in an alcohol drunk, a meth or marijuana euphoric delusion high. All these mind states are part of the addiction process, the cycle of abuse process lifestyle. The addict and the abuser-victim inevitably go back to their abuser overlord, or their drug of choice in an endless cycle, back and forth in the addiction model of behaviour. A legitimate tradition is one that honours us exactly as we are, where we are, as fundamentally sound, good and worthy. While suffering is in some ways an inescapable part of human life. We can not authentically support a value construct that prioritizes our suffering as individuals or prioritizes our suffering as members of a group. It is within groups that we can best work for our well being. Nor can we authentically support the suffering of others as individuals or the suffering of others as members of a group that prioritizes their well being .  The only way a tradition can legitimize suffering as essential is by postulating unsolvable riddles and mumbo jumbo that basically denies our identity as biospiritual beings, or selectively denies the identity of others as biospiritual beings. The purpose of all these systems that deny our biospiritual nature is to ultimately elevate an elite within a social power structure and justify miserable conditions in the here and now for those supposed non-actors in the elite’s self sustaining elite group narrative. A perspective that denies our body as a vehicle misses the mark and if taken to a logical conclusion will support suffering and trauma as a spiritual process. When we examine these meta rules, and meta beliefs there is always an elite power structure lurking in the background harnessing the power of failure, that is benefited by these value structures. Within these coopted value structures there is a subtle paradigm that where we are, is not where we are. The place where we’re at is not very fun but eventually we will get to a better place. Yet our basic experience reveals to us that where we are is indeed where we are. Where we are is our spiritual home. There is no promised land awaiting us in heaven or in the middle east. Our promised land is right here. We have to take seriously birth, life and death in this particular body, life in this particular place.  When conflicting statements within a value structure taken to their logical conclusion leads us to devalue our existence, then we must disavow such value structures and move forward psychologically without those value structures and outside those value structures. When our life in the here and now is devalued by the regime agenda for some version of  a utopian future awaited paradise, we must immediately assume a posture of suspicion of that regime as a co-opted regime script that does not honor our biospiritual interests and well being.



STANDING  PRACTICE:


Taking the stand. We are going to stand. Begin by standing, legs apart, as wide as the shoulders, knees loose, soft, arms at the sides. Everything at this point relaxed without manipulation or tension, you are standing, that’s all.  You are not attempting to stand better. The way you are standing is enough. You listening to and feeling what it is like to stand, supporting your own weight. You are perfectly ok just standing exactly the way you are standing. You are really not trying to achieve anything special by standing upright. You are just doing what is done by standing. You have a body, you are your body, so you are owning your body. This is the mountain stance, a firm, solid stance. Concentrate a little attention on your breathing, not controlling your breathing. Just be aware of your breathing, loosely through the nose. You are breathing, in and out. That’s it, you are standing.

     Feel the balls of your feet, on the ground. A note on the contact space on the foot:  While on the one hand you will be merely standing, called only standing. Yet at the same time as your practice changes over time you may want to investigate more closely what it means to be an upright standing human on two legs.  Later we will investigate what it feels to be standing in more elaborate terms. We want to investigate deeply the foot and how it connects to the ground, to earth, especially when engaging with trees, plants and other life forms outside. The foot has 10 points of contact. Each of the five toes, the big ball below the big toe, the small ball adjacent to the small toe, the outer edge, and the heel, along with a more central point called K-1, so ten areas of contact. In addition the big toe aligns with the tendons of the thumb index finger, and the little toe aligns with the tendons of the pinky finger on the same side hand/foot complex. A similar arrangement also occurs with the hands, and although the hands are not grasping anything or weight bearing these centers on the feet are analogous to the centers of the hands and fingers. When engaged in the mountain standing posture we feel simultaneously the hands and feet. When integrating movement awareness is centered in these outer hands and feet while again simultaneously focusing on the solar plexus, dantian or hara and the core spine complex.

       As you are standing observe your posture and be aware of these roughly seven centers. The 1)top of head, the brain, the inside of your skull near the intersection of the ears and eyes, 2)the center of your chest, the heart, 3)the area around the navel, just above your hips near, 4) the base of the spine, 5)the hands, 6)the knees, keep your knees loose, and 7)the soles of your feet where they connect or touch the ground. For the purpose of what we are doing you can consider these seven centers, seven places, as seven brains, seven ways to gather information, experience and sense. It may be awkward at first to think of the feet, the hands, the heart, the navel and so on as points of perception like say for instance the eyes, sight, or the ears, hearing. That’s the whole point of this training, to gain subtle input into who we are, where we are and what we are doing so we can increase health and wellness in the here and now for mutual benefit.

      It’s quite familiar to use words, sound, the tongue to advise and council one another. You may be familiar with answering questions like, “What does the book say?, “What did so and so say?”, “What do you believe?”, and so on. Then there are the relentless histories of fighting, wars with clubs, spears, guns, marching armies, now guided missiles, jets, chemical, biological weapons. Here we aren't interested in how to pray, what belief formula to recite,  dogma, and so on. It’s more like, how do you feel? What are you feeling?

      I say roughly seven centers because there is a front and back to the body, anterior and posterior portions, or edges of the body, along with the medial or center, an inside the body and outside. Deep within the upper body trunk are many organs, and groups of cells doing all kinds of processes, moving blood, lymph, breathing, kidneys filtering blood. Many complex interesting processes are occurring deep inside the body. 



  You may be familiar with inner techniques like guided meditations of various kinds’, loving kindness, prayer, perhaps done sitting in an auditorium mega church, in a therapist's office, or a gothic cathedral, lying down, in a church pew, or sitting cross legged, and in one sense this infinity standing form is similar, yet different. Sitting meditation and most inside building work, therapy, various church temple work has a tendency to immobilize the legs and disassociate the biospirit into component parts. We want to include the whole body biospirit and invite the outside inside. We invite the outside to join the inside. The legs, although not formally considered organs of the body like the lungs, heart, spleen, liver and kidneys and so on, play a huge role in our health from a biospiritual perspective. We move through our legs. The legs are the major pump for the lymph system.

     Since movement and flow is both the end and the beginning. Dogs, cats, reptile pets, snakes are good ways to practice doing outside the digital world. Pets can be a part of a practice yet they can monopolize consciousness. By accepting outside, accepting flow and movement we avoid the pet concept of control and heightened emphasis on personal history within a narrative of control. Pets, dogs and cats are opening access to victimhood, control bondage.  So we have a bait and switch tactic to occupy mind while moving towards singularity. People pull pet dogs, cats and small birds on leashes through their experience to demonstrate their personal power as a trinket. See my cat. I am the owner of my cat. My cats and dogs sleep on my bed. I allow that, I control that. I control when he eats, when he goes outside. I clean my cat’s litter box. I dutifuly walk my dog, I control where he goes, I lead him through life on a leash. Or I allow my dog to wander about creating chaos. I am the all powerful dog master, the cat master. I allow my cat to wander freely to kill songbirds because singing birds are not my concern. I wander the wilderness with my dog, it’s my right to control experience through my dog. Welcome to dog park world. So we need to take a break from continuously owning everything as the king and queen of dog park world view. 

    Likewise the so called alchemical organs like the hara, the heart, the so called wheels or chakras in the spine are in some way separated from the legs and hence when doing various meditation work we can ask, ‘What about the legs?’ In addition there seems to be some kind of disconnect when one is doing all this profound work seated, motionless, visiting all these spiritual heights that vanish as soon as one leaves the sitting position. The experience we’ve all had when we feel all this unconditional love inside the church with the beautiful music, incense, stained glass windows  and one gets up to walk around, leaves the church parking lot and curse the driver next to us in a fit of road rage. One type of solution is kinhin or walking meditation. To alternate walking with sitting, to integrate movement with stillness. Yet there is something off, something wrong with all these once a week special services, and it doesn’t really seem to matter what the practice calls itself. It might be Zen, traditional catholic, Odinism, feel good protestantism, non-denominational dog park Islam, yoga, some kind of new therapy. Yet all of these are good, useful and beautiful if they allow us a little time. A tight community where mutual benefit is held in high esteem is time well spent. The problem is we have to meet our mind directly in the present moment without a filter, right now because of an emergency. We have to engage with our own thoughts, body and emotions without a filter of belief and dogma. Otherwise we just blurt out, burst out our emotions in the same pattern that we learned them in the abuse centers. 

    As we said before, as above, so below. So it’s not only us in our personal lives that blurt out crazy. The world itself we live in blurts out and rages crazy. We have to get grounded face to face, filled with real information. We see the big world blow out, blurt out stuff that is quite delusional and neurotic. We don’t to have to go far to see the silliness and senseless arrogant destructive violence. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. We don’t need to study old history to see that the armies are still massing weapons. And they are positioning not only to create manufacture deadly weapons, this crazy rage is going to happen in real time, in real life. They are going to fire those weapons. Battles are being scheduled down to the latest weapons systems. We are intrinsically connected. Covid lock downs, bombing campaigns, let’s reinvigorate the military industrial complex,  supply the world with bombs, planes, attack helicopters and drones to kill and destroy the enemy. So it’s important during these lulls in the narrative to touch base with what is real and substantial. Not touch base with their bizarre conceptual narratives of real. There is not a lot of intense vital anger in the church, or on the yoga mat, peaceful and idyllic in the dog park, seated in meditation, or even with the paid listener psychological professional listener shrink. There is something very fake about all these controlled environments. We are on our best behavior. Nothing is really at stake here. Our psychologist doesn’t challenge us, neither does the priest or minister, everything is rehearsed, contained and although all these environments can be helpful, we want to get something a little deeper while we can. 


 

     ***Note:                                                                                                         Our spirit is biospirit, not disconnected from our body. Likewise our spirit is intrinsically woven with our bioregion. Our authentic spirit is physical. Our spirit is material. Our spirit is local, bordered into place. Our spirit is thus somehow racial and geographic, racial spirit, ethnic spirit, biospirit. The west has in a sense developed and cultivated a disconnected universal spirit of separation by forced integration with these strange ideas that say that somehow we don’t belong anywhere. Even though we live in a specific place our spirit is universal meaning our spirit somehow dis-includes us from our own ancestral home. We are occupied, co-opted by displaced, disembodied floating, hungry ghost cannibal spirituality. The ideology is moronic and is a cult of victimhood and trauma. 

    The great cathedrals of Europe came from the biospirit of forested european people. These complex buildings on the inside with their diffused light coming from kaleidoscopic stained glass colored windows, visually, qualitatively have the same dappled sunlight filtering through the old growth tree covered euro forest. So let’s worship within those tree groves that still exist while we can. The sacred groves are there. The cathedrals of europe came from the biospirit of people in the forest of trees. Let’s investigate deeply our biospirit in the forest sitting, standing and walking. Let’s understand the mutual benefit of trees. The foot at the point of contact in standing, walking, bending, sitting and how it connects to the ground, to earth, especially when engaging with trees, plants and life forms around us. Living beings around us are significant forces with which we must interact to our benefit. For this reason we are going to explore how to deeply interact with trees. We could say we are going to authenticate both ourselves and the tree, Authenticate the place where the tree grows. Why are we doing this with trees? Why are we listening to trees? Why are we hugging trees? Why interact with trees? More authentically, why not engage with trees? Understanding trees as sacred big life? Trees are immense living beings living for hundreds of years. Trees survive  forest fires, lightning, wind storms, floods, drought. Trees therefore possess immense intelligence in sustaining. Trees offer us mutual benefit and here we will explore the practice of honoring trees, loving trees. The answer is many mutual benefits relating to the trees. The trees take in our carbon dioxide we exhale and give off oxygen. Trees preserve the soil against erosion. Trees provide cooling shade. 

     Our basic experience reveals to us that where we are is indeed where we are. Where we are is our spiritual home. There is no promised land awaiting us in heaven or in the middle east. Our promised land is right here. We have to take seriously birth, life and death in this particular body, life in this particular place.  

        



      All living beings around us are significant forces with which we can possibly interact to our benefit. For this reason we are going to explore how to deeply interact with trees. We could say we are going to engage with trees as beings, as forms of living beings in order to authenticate both ourselves and the tree, and the place where the tree grows. Why are we doing this with trees? Why are we hugging trees? Why interact with trees? More authentically, why not engage with trees? Why prevent people from understanding trees as sacred big life? Why give legitimacy to a sacred book that attacks the worship of trees? Trees are immense living beings living for hundreds of years. Trees survive  forest fires, lightning, wind storms, floods, drought. Trees possess immense intelligence. Trees offer us mutual benefit and here we will explore the practice of honoring trees, loving trees. The answer is many mutual benefits relating to the trees. The trees take in our carbon dioxide we exhale and give off oxygen. Trees preserve the soil against erosion. Trees provide cooling shade. 

     Our biospirit is nourished by interacting with other life forms within our bioregion home like trees but not exclusively limited to large trees that tower over us. Here I am saying tree to illustrate a point. I could as easily substitute herb, dandelion, small plants growing close to the ground, rose bush and so on and the same thing would be true. All life forms are cherished in the web of mutual benefit. We include of course other human beings, our tribe, family and neighborhood in mutual benefit. We also include the worship of our direct blood ancestors, our parents, grandparents, great grandparents because we are fundamentally sound good people. We love those people who came before us. We also love our portion of future becoming. We work to secure the existence of our people and a future for our children. We not only work for good beautiful things, we ourselves without doing anything special are intrinsically good people. The essence of who we are is bio-spirit. We embrace a spiritual biology. Eating nutrient rich organic food is a form of prayer. Honoring the world around us is spiritual work. Why biospirit? Because we are more than physical bodies test tube, mechanical style. We are a unified bounded whole. Our boundaries are good. Our biology is good and inherently intelligent. Our actual physical body is simultaneously spirit. It is not that we have a spirit and a body. Why or how this is so is again a mystery, beyond what little small me can understand and explain. It is just the way it is. For that reason we actually make offerings of actual pinyon pine sap, estafiate, dried manzanita leaves, juniper, canyon cedar, oak bark and as the fragrant smoke rises we bless ourselves and wish all people well. If I was someplace else I would do it differently. I am here. 

     We are nourished by engaging with rocks, hills, mesas, mountains, plants both great and small, trees, water courses, and these things are likewise wanting to engage with us to our benefit, to our healing, to our medicine. Wherever there are birds, there are bird songs. Wherever there are rocks and craggy peaks, there are rocks and craggy peaks to bless and be blessed. The genius of wild herb ways is where ever you are engaging with the genius creative force of living things, herbs and remedios.

 Infinity Standing Form


“Meridians are the energy matrix of our body. They are the invisible channels that link together all of our organs. They flow where the blood flows. When we are under stress the channels get blocked and this leads to physical and emotional illness. It is vital for our health that the Meridians are clear so that the Qi can flow properly.”(QiGong by Shifu Yan Lei 2009)

     When we consider energy pathways of the body we can understand them as circulation channels. Again, as above, so below. Meridians exist not only in the small body. Meridians, energy pathways, channels of circulation also exist in the big body. Meridians exist in our actual mother, our mom. Our mother whether she is still alive or since departed had energy pathways in her body. The big earth mother mom also has energy meridians. One important thing to grasp is that we are not necessarily creating the circulation channel meridians. We are not magically creating some new thing not originally there in the imagination. We don’t need to anchor ourselves in any particular system as east or west, scientific vs religious or spiritual to gain this understanding. Look at your hands right now as they are, you can see the skin color. The hands are fairly dry, although there is an underlying moisture flowing through your hand. The entire body is mostly water and it has a similar salty taste as the ocean. If you place your hands on a concrete stone table or a rock on a warm day and then remove them, you may observe a palm print of moisture left behind. Or if you walk bare foot on red slick rock you can see the moisture foot prints from your steps. Likewise for instance if you are slicing vegetables and nick your finger with the knife, immediately blood will be released from the cut. It is not that the silvery steel metal knife created red blood. The red moist salty blood was there both before and after the cut. Because although when we look at our hand, our fingers, we see the skin, immediately under the skin is red blood fluid energy moving through the superficial, close to the skin surface capillaries or tiny blood vessels. Even though we don’t see the blood beneath our skin it is there continuously moving, flowing, exchanging in the circulatory system. The red slick rock did not create the moisture in our feet. Likewise the stone did not create the moisture in the hand, it simply made visible something that was there all along. We can touch our wrist with the palm turned up at the radial pulse point and feel a ‘boom bah’, pulsing, palpable to touch, maybe if we examine the point more closely we can even see a pulsing up and in. Maybe then we can simultaneously feel the same pulsing at our heart, maybe we can hear this sound of the muscular arteries pumping blood throughout the body, returning via the veins, to the lungs mixing with oxygen. Again we did not create our heart in the act of observation, yet at the same time the act of deep listening, somehow does create the heart. In one sense by listening deeply we didn’t create the heart. In another sense by deep listening we did create the heart. We observed it. Where before we did not know it was there. If a tree comes crashing down in the forest, and no one is present close by to hear the sound, did the crashing tree make a sound?   

     Let’s go into the infinity standing form. Again there is nothing original here. This form is something we do with remedios, with the person plant and place practice. The remedios are already here. The people are here. The plants and trees are here. The places where trees grow are here. This form could be called moving walking through the trees. It is a standing microcosmic orbit,  a kind of qi gong, Infinity is the figure eight form standing. As a reminder, Last but not the least – very important – once you complete a qi gong series exercise, imagine that you are shrinking your energy ball between your palms, make it as small as you can. Then move it inside your body through your hara at the navel, this moves energy from the ball into your body for later use. For ladies – during your various times, please put the ball into your heart area and not into your belly.


Find a comfortable place to practice preferably outside with loose fitting, non-binding clothing, or inside doesn’t matter. These exercises, although described done standing, can also be done seated in a sturdy non enclosing chair, like an auditorium folding chair without arm rest, seated on the edge of the chair rather than in the chair if mobility is an issue. 1)Arm swings. Warmup from a standing posture. Begin with gentle arm swinging the flags from the shoulders, without raising the shoulders too much, side to side swinging the flags across the chest and forward and back swinging. Do sets of 40 or 50 swings for five minutes or so. With the arm swinging imagine your arms are cords or thick climbing free hanging climbing ropes and a lightly weighted pendulum, a small fist sized rock on the cord as your palm, swinging back and forth. Loose swinging of the arms. Hands open. On the side to side swing the humerus or upper arm will be parallel with the ground and the radius ulna palm will rise just barely into the upper plane and will raise slightly above the plane of the shoulders flexed at the elbow. Breathe through your nose, not holding or restricting the breath. During each set of arm swings mid way, do two gentle bounces, two slight partial squats with the knees, then return to an upright stance with bent knees and continue the swings. 

2) then do a forward leaning posture bending at the knees with the knees touching and do knee circles while massaging the knees with hands. Do knee circles in both directions for several minutes lightly massaging the knee joint. Fix the gaze on the ground or floor immediately in front of you.

3) If standing spread the feet out to shoulder width, place the hands on the hips and begin hip rotations. If standing only the hips are rotated, the head is more or less motionless. So that the head remains in the same plane as the feet without bobbing the head side to side or moving up or down. The easiest way to ensure head stability is to focus on a fixed point in front of you during hip rotations. If seated on a sturdy stable chair rotate the upper body keeping the head neck  spine in the same plane, doing gentle easy circles from the waist. Do 15 or so rotations in one direction, then reverse direction. 

4) Double full moon, Raising the moon. Return to a firm standing position with arms relaxed at your side. Bring your hands slightly forward. Imagine you are lightly holding an inflatable stability ball between your palms, raise the arms holding the imaginary ball over your head. When you reach the apex, turn the hands outward, then imagine you are painting a full complete circle, and bring your arms down gracefully, slowly back down to your sides to the original position, touching the outside of your leg. Inhale through your nose when raising the ball, and exhale through the nose when painting the full circle down. 

5) Zhan Zhuang, Stand like a tree. Begin with Wu Ji, then water strength testing. Stand loosely feet the width of the shoulders apart, arms hanging loosely not touching the trunk, as if there are two balls underneath the arm pits, soft gaze, eyes looking forward. Remain in Wuji stance, imagine standing in warm lukewarm hip depth water. Push two two balls, one in each hand floating on the pond at your sides downward, then let the balls raise to the level of the hips, returning the arms to wuji stance.

6) Now do microcosmic orbit with the bottom of the tail bone as the flip point for front to back with qi downward flowing out the back of the legs into the earth. Develop a loop with the tree. Understand the tree is at least as big above as below with the roots and crown. Now bring the qi from the roots of the tree to the ball of the foot. Spilling over the top of the foot, up the front of the legs to the tail bone and into the microcosmic orbit. Blessings to all beings engaged in the real work.
